GEORGE A. GUI-AR, OF DORCHES'IER, MASSACHUSETTS.

GARMENT-SUPPORTER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 115, 1919.

Application filed November 11, 1916, Serial No. 130,712. Renewed February 14, 1919. Serial No. 277,102.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. GOLAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dorchester, in the county of Suffolk, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Garment- Supporters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to garment supporters of the wire hanger type, and my immediate object is to provide a hanger,

made preferably of a single piece of reasonably cheap wire, which will be so formed that a suit of clothes, including a hat, may be conveniently suspended thereon, in such manner that each garment will be kept from wrinkling, and may be readily removed from the hanger, when needed, without disturbing the other garments.

My invention is clearly illustrated in and by the annexed drawings,'in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a garment supporter embodying my present improvement and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.

As already stated, my improved supporter is, preferably, formed of a single piece of wire, the upper, free, end portion of said wire being twined to form an eye or hook 10 by means of which the complete hanger may be suspended from a nail or hook. Said wire is then extended downward to a point 11 where it'is deflected laterally and diagonally, as at 1% to a point 13 and thence is extended downward substantially parallel with upper portion of said wire to a point 14 where it is again deflected diagonally to a point 15. From the point 1.5 the said wire is bent downward, thence outward, as at 16, thence upward as at 17 to prow'de a hook and is then doubled back upon itself to a point opposite 15. where it is bent upward, as at 18, and thence downward to form one half of a loop 19. The said wire is then continued and bent to form bends 18, 17,'and 14 in opposition to those already described.

The loop formed by the bends 18 and 19 provide a pocket in which a hat may be seated, and the bends 17 provide hooks on which a pair of trousers maybe hung. In order to provide a hanger for a coat and vest I coil the wire upward around the main wire, as at 20, then extend it laterally a considerable distance and bend it back substantially parallel with itself to form a loop 21, then coil it around the said main wire and extend it toform a loop 22; the end portion of said wire being returned to, and coiled around, the main wire as at 23. The structure thus formed provides a hanger on which a coat and vest may be hung. The complete device may be cheaply manufactured, it is reasonably small in size, and it provides convenient means for supporting in compact form an entire suit of clothing.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and wish to secure by Letters Patent Adevice of the type described, formed of a single wire, the upper terminal being bent into eye or hook form, said wire then being extended downwardly, the resultant downward portion bcing deflected laterally and diagonally, again extended or bent downwardly substantially parallel with the shank forming portion of said hook or eye, again deflected or bent diagonally, thence bent downwardly -and. again laterall thence upwardly, thus forming a hoo terminal, when it is doubled back upon itself and again extended upwardly, said wire then bent curved into U-formation with. the convexity or bottom of the U presented downwardly, 'the foresaid shaping or bending of the wire up to the U then being duplicated upon the opposite side to the first referred to vertical portion, where the wire is coiled or twisted around said first referred to vertical portion, it then being extended laterally some distance and returned substantially parallel with itself, and again coiled upon said vertical portion, the wire finally being extended in duplicate loop formation upon the opposite side and again twisted uponsaid vertical portion.
